Biography

This profile lacks source information. Please add sources that support the facts.

Unknown Origins
The name of Simeon (Simon) Woodrow's wife is unknown but a significant number of unsupported family tree's claim her to be one Catherine Woods. There are no vital records that have been located which prove her name.

Because there is so much misconception about her identify, and in order to prevent future WikiTree profiles from being needlessly created, this profile is being left 'as is' in order to better communicate the minimum sourcing standard required to credibly establish the existence of an ancestor.

Research Notes
Comment at 8 Sep 2023:
At this time there remains no credible sources suggesting that Simeon Woodrow married a Catherine Woods although her name continues to be perpetuated through online family tree's in FamilySearch.org and Ancestry.com. This family history biographer is a direct descendant of Simeon Woodrow and wishes we did have her real name but family history genealogy requires us to have credible proof not wishful thinking. It may be that her name will surface in some long overlooked document from Simeon's life, generated during his life-time, that will shed some light on her identity.
